    Instructions for WiFi came rather late so I had pay to sign up to EE WiFi to send a message. The SMS message containing the instructions should be sent earlier so there is more chance of getting it in good time since this region has patchy reception. There was an electronic beep outside the door to the room. This is not a problem for sleeping at night if you have some ear-plugs with you.

    It was a perfect for a stop while walking the Cambrian Way. The room was comfortable and had facilities for some simple food preparation (kettle, microwave). There was a small sitting area with a table outside the room for a cup of tea in fine weather. The Glyntawe Arms is a 15 minutes away and has a good selection of evening meals.

    We had a kettle, toaster and microwave which was great. Enabled us to do breakfast or a snack. We did feel it lacked crockery. There was only one mug and no dinner plates available to put a couple of pieces of toast on.

    It was warm and cosy. Very clean and excellent location. Very comfortable bed and nice shower and bathroom facilities.

    Few little niggly things that may have been down to me only booking within 24hrs. Couldn’t find the room key but I literally arrived late and didn’t leave room until I left the next day so wasn’t an issue. No tea or coffee in the room but there was sugar and a kettle. Little dogs bark in the evening but once asleep I heard nothing. Says earplugs provided but I couldn’t find any.

    I stayed in the family room upstairs. Room 3. It has slanted ceilings which wouldn’t be ideal for tall people but I’m not. It was clean and bright. It had an en-suite. Also lots of extra facilities like fridge, microwave and kettle. It was perfect for me as id booked to go riding with them the next day. Riding treks are really excellent.

    Due to the room being in the roof space and my height, movement was restricted at times. The accommodation was about 8 miles from the town centre which was problematic when it came to meeting people in the evening.

    A nice clean and warm room, ( weather was bad ), enough facilities to cook a meal and the bathroom was close at hand. Host was friendly and approachable and willing to help if needed. The room was ideal for one person.

    It was not internet or signal due a storm. It was impossible once there to speak with any staff. We did not see anyone and when we has signal again, we did not have any answer to our texts.

    It was a big room and It was a nice area.

    The noise- dogs, cats, and horses made sounds all night. It wasn’t unbearable but it did make us have to close the windows on the back side of our room.

    Owner left us instructions for how to get in, she was very friendly and nice to us when we arrived. There are local pubs just a mile down the road which had great atmosphere and food.

    The pitched roof was a little bit of an inconvenience to my 6’2 body, but it was an old building

    It was ideal for a wedding we attended at Craig-y-nos castle. It was noticeably clean and had everything we needed.

    Their was no wardrobe to hang our clothes or hooks to hang our coats. Plus their was no dressing area with a mirror to put makeup on or dry my hair. The best suggestion would be a small single wardrobe with a full length mirror. Apart from this it was a nice comfortable room and suited our needs

    A nice clean family room. We were able to cook our breakfast in the morning. It is a lovely area to with a lovely view out of the front window. The bed was comfortable and the room was warm at all times. Chocolate and biscuits was a nice touch.

    Self service check in and although the list of amenities included a hairdryer there wasn't one - you had to ask for one. We couldn't contact the owner - We messaged and knocked at the door. There is no phone signal. Luckily I had a heated brush but we were going to a wedding and I could have done with a hairdryer. The owner also failed to answer a query we sent before we arrived. We had no contact with them while we were there.

    Accommodation was good and extremely convenient if you were going to an event at Craig y Nos

    The Internet was patchy, I found it hard to get a decent meal as I didn't have my car so getting a meal without a good Internet connection or transport was bad. The shower ran out of hot water in the afternoon. The main road in front of the stables was not fit for walking on. This did not have anything to do with the stables though. The steps could be lit up in front of the property as they are really dark on a night.

    The people and staff in the stables and the castle wete amazing. Everyone was so helpful and kind. The horse riding was great. And the accommodation was fine. The scenery was absolutely spectacular. The room was warm and comfortable. The horses were well looked after and well behaved.
